Wasabi the J posted:I have an Explorer that had some suspension problems, so I would be inclined to believe that's due to some other suspension failure causing the bearings to wear prematurely; namely, the tie rods and the ball joints were bad, which wore out the front arm bushings. I replaced those and the shocks and I haven't had the problems I was having for the last 20K. I don't disagree with you, but I can't find where the failure might be. Shocks are fine, but could probably stand to be replaced 260k miles Bushings are fine. If I had to put my money on something, I'd say ball joints based on past experience with Fords. But I can't find any tell tale signs of failure. No pixie dust, no noises, no squatting. I don't have the money to go replacing things willy-nilly. If I did, I'd probably have redone all of the front suspension.

Today's horrible mechanical failure was a water pump bearing on a 2.4 L PT cruiser. Obviously it shredded the TB. Now it being a twin cam SEMI interference motor meaning that the valves in theory cant hit the pistons, but can hit each other, customer is throwing a belt at it for shits. Spent my sweet time taking it apart today between other poo poo and tomorrow ill see how setting TDC goes. Should I set the cams before the crank? Anyone do anything similar on an Oh Christer 2.4? Sorry im a poor with a flip phone so no pictures but not like you could see poo poo in a PT Cruiser engine bay anyway

Wrar posted:Different cylinder banks. More specifically there is a serious exhaust leak on one bank so it is drawing in fresh air, making the o2 sensor see a too lean condition, so it goes full rich to attempt to compensate, which doesn't do anything because it still sucks in air, so the opposite bank (which still reads right) is reading the full rich condition while the problem bank is reading too lean even though it is in 100% rich oh god dump fuel DUMP FUEL DUMP FUEL AHHHHHHH mode.

Mind you, those were both with aftermarket connecting rods. Was this one an OEM, or aftermarket rod? Looks like it was a DRZ400E, so no cool wheel set to stick on something else. I have a spare CR500 engine that would fit nicely in there! DefaultPeanut fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jun 16, 2015 |

S. appears to be the factory rod. Guy actually offered supermoto wheels with it, but I wasn't paying $800 for used warp9s.

I feel like we should start framing some of 14's mechanical failure pictures in a museum exhibit. Some of them are not only heart wrenching but composed beautifully, with the soul of a poet.

I met a traveller from an automotive land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of rust Stand in the valley . . . Near them, on the floor, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the distributor these words appear: 'My name is 14 INCH, dick of dicks: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal block, boundless and bare The lone still level head stretches far away.

This is what 5.2/5.9L Magnum owners have to look forward to. Astonishing Wang, if you're gonna put that 5.2 in the IH, do the plenum gasket job before you put the motor in... at least that way it hurts less or you can say gently caress it and scrap the motor before going to the trouble of swapping it in. Hughes Performance makes a plenum gasket and cover stiffness upgrade kit that makes this kind of thing unnecessary after the first time.

You bet! My condolences, hopefully the bolts aren't as grody on yours. This is actually the first time I've heard of them breaking but I haven't looked into it much aside from bookmarking the kit for when I prep the 5.9 for one of my jeeps.

Finally figured out my mystery metal bits in the Zamboni. Front intermediate shaft bearing. Cast iron sleeving just decided to gently caress off from the stainless bushing and the #1 piston got a hold of it. Gouges all up and down the piston wall and head. One and two rod bearings have some dings and scratches in them. Mystery solved...whoo! Also cut apart the oil filter and found water droplets in that and also plenty of milkshake in the block and pan.. does anyone want a VW block for decorative purposes?

Yeah, you empty them by connecting an air line to pressurise them and it forces the oil out through the hose connected to the bottom and into your waste tank.

Weird, the ones I used we always just had a vacuum pump that sucked the oil out the bottom. Had our share of mishaps with the drain feature of the trans fluid exchange machine though.
